Elevated alerts

[jmoseley at corp.xanadoo.com]

In the 'email' contact config, you need all the service notification
options: w,c,u,r,f,s

This is because you want warning and critical alerts sent to email.

In the 'paging' config, gid rid of the following lines:

host_notification_commands                    notify-host-by-pager
service_notification_commands                 notify-service-by-pager
# Added pager line 01/09/2009
pager                                         glowe at pager.company.com

Then change the service notifications to: c,u,r,f,s

The way you have it now, the paging contact will not get critical alerts.
If your paging email address has a text username (glowe), you need to use
the notify-by-email arguments.  If the user is numerical, then yes, you can
use the notify-by-pager commands.  I mentioned this in my last email.  I've
never researched it, for I've found that if I have a non-numerical user in
an email address and I use the notify-by-pager default CONTACTPAGER macro,
the notification is not sent.
